The show will feature two seasons of six episodes each, set after the events of the series finale of the original show and Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. This new era will focus on life after the war, the drama, and the major chaos. It will be led by Duke Shelby, Tommy Shelby’s oldest son.
The series will be set a decade after World War Two and will feature “the race to rebuild Birmingham” leading to a “contest of mythical dimensions.” In this city “of unprecedented opportunity and jeopardy,” there is Duke Shelby, who is “older, wiser, more ambitious,” and even more dangerous.

He told Netflix, “Once again it will be rooted in Birmingham and will tell the story of a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham blitz. The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel,” expressing his joy.
Fans were not too pleased with how the storyline of the film turned out and are hoping the sequel series will be bigger and better than Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. It remains to be seen what this new era will truly entail.
